Exactly what authority (or Jurisdiction for that matter) does the world court have in these cases?

As I understand it, none.

But sometimes law gets made by default. If some US judge or other authority starts following up on this, then it could set a bad precedent. And politics can enter in as well. For example, the State Department has a bad habit of placating other countries and worrying about foreign public opinion.
